Create a Web Clip Configuration

A web clip is a shortcut to a website or web page from an iOS device. Use a web clip configuration to create standard web clips on devices. You can add a web clip icon to your iOS device that will launch a specific website. Web Clips help you to quickly find and use bookmarks on the home screens of your devices. You can also control some of the parameters of the Mobile Safari viewing experience for the site.
